    Siebel Web Tools modifies the mode of the Applet Layout Editor to Set Tab Order and displays a number next to each control. If the user repeatedly presses the tab button, then the number indicates the sequence that the user uses to navigate through the controls.

  6. To modify the tab order, click each control in the same sequence that the user must use to navigate through the controls.

    Siebel Web Tools assigns a sequence number to each control when you click the control. This number is visible in the upper right corner of each control. If you want to undo the changes you made, click the cancel icon.

  7. After you assign a tab order to all the controls, click the save icon.

    Siebel Web Tools returns the Applet Layout Editor to normal edit mode.
